"What kind of transformation? It's too late!"
How could Hashirama Senju allow himself to watch his best friend being captured by a monster?
“That’s the plot!”
Ugetsu held down the anxious Hashirama.
"The main plot is to rescue the captured people, so Mr. Madara must be captured now."
"Quick, Mr. Hashirama, use your wand to transform!"
"Wand transformation...?"
Hashirama looked hesitantly at the fancy stick in his hand.
It can't be called a stick either. With a huge gem on the top, it looks more like some kind of strange and precious decoration.
“That’s right!”
"Magical transformation is the most popular fashion among young people nowadays. Anyway, Mr. Hashirama just needs to shout 'Magical transformation!'"
Although I don’t really understand what is fashionable or not.
But since it's arranged to do this, let's do it.
Senju Hashirama was not a person who had much idol baggage. He raised his magic wand on the spot and shouted with full energy: "Magic transformation!"
Then, something magical happened.
As he spoke, dazzling colorful light surrounded him, and then the armor on his body turned into a piece of... light cloth.
Not only that, there is also a very long cape on the back.
His hair, which was loose on his back, was also neatly combed into a ponytail.
"Is this the transformation?"
Senju Hashirama looked confused.
He did this because he could fight, but this suit...
"It looks like you have no fighting power or defense power?"
"Don't worry about such details."
Isn't it enough for magical girl's clothes to look good?
In short, you now have the power of magic. Let's see what you can do.
"I know...ah, is that all?"
A screen suddenly appeared in front of Hashirama Senju.
"Entanglement, strangulation, or flower waterfall burial?"
"Yes, these are the magic you can use after you transform - in fact, there are more, and you can learn them by obtaining special props or magic books."
Actually I don’t quite understand.
"That means you can learn more techniques, right?"
"That's right! Let's set off on our journey now!
”
Yu Yue said this and took the lead to take a step towards the direction where Uchiha Madara was captured.
Senju Hashirama reacted quickly and followed.
"I still don't understand why you took Madara away."
"The dragon takes the most beautiful person. This is the law."
——Which Dragon Quest story doesn’t start with the dragon kidnapping the ‘beautiful’ princess?
"I see."
Senju Hashirama accepted this statement in a second.
If you consider the appearance, then yes.
He accepted it so quickly that Yu Yue even looked at him sideways - she was still wondering what words she should use to make him accept this setting if this didn't work.
"In short, what we have to do is to overcome the difficulties along the way, improve our own strength, and then find the dragon's lair to fight him and save Madara."
“That’s right!”
Senju Hashirama is getting excited!
"Then let's get going!"
Although it was a completely unfamiliar 'world' and a completely unfamiliar 'power', Hashirama Senju seemed particularly excited because he was with his best friend.
——But the situation of Uchiha Madara who was captured on the other side was different.
Why am I going through this.
It's so infuriating.
If we are going to catch someone, shouldn't it be Hashirama Senju?
That guy will definitely cooperate because it is a new experience.
And I can also make some sarcastic remarks to satisfy my own pleasure when I come to rescue him.
Uchiha Madara, who was caught in mid-air by the evil dragon, was sulking.
But that’s not all.
"Hey, Mr. Madara, can you hear me?"
Ugetsu's voice came from the evil dragon.
"What are you going to do now?"
Isn’t that enough?
"No big deal, I just hope that Mr. Madara can use this time to create some special items and put them where I specify."
Although this world was created by Ugetsu, the right of creation and control still lies with Uchiha Madara, the master of illusion.
Therefore, if there is a need to add or reduce projects, it depends on him to work hard.
Uchiha Madara: ...?
You created a monster to capture me, and you want me to create that...prop for you?
"It would be best if it was a special style like a scroll, and the method of obtaining it should not be too simple... For example,
You can try putting it in a place like a volcano."
"The crater...?"
What the hell are you looking at?
Uchiha Madara's brows were almost twisted into a knot.
He had no idea what the connection was between these things like Yu Yue.
Besides.
“There’s no volcano here.”
Did that thing just appear randomly?
"Oh, no?"
Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, but soon calmed down.
"It's okay. If there isn't one, we can just create one. It's just an illusion world after all."
Isn’t it just a matter of pinching one?
Uchiha Madara: "..."
"You can make a volcano, and then a glacier. Then, you can get a book from each side. Each time you get a book, you learn a skill. Only after you have learned both books can you get the ultimate move."
“Why can’t we do it all at once?”
This is too troublesome.
Uchiha Madara couldn't understand why it had to be so complicated.
"Preliminary, preliminary - you see, doesn't the Uchiha's Sharingan have to open first, then have magatama, and finally turn into a Mangekyō?"
"In short, people won't cherish things that are too easy to obtain, so there should be more obstacles. Things that are finally obtained with the efforts of oneself and one's companions after much hardship are the most worthy of cherishing - after all, the process itself is a treasure."
The memories of traveling and adventuring with companions are so precious.
“Kill two birds with one stone.”
"Anyway, we'll get rid of Mr. Madara. Oh, and by the way, it would be best if we could create a prop bar. We'll have a lot of props and gadgets along the way, and a backpack would be too bulky."
"You have used ninjutsu scrolls before, so this type of storage space should be familiar to you. There won't be many changes. You just need to make it into a grid-by-grid format, and each grid can only hold the same items."
"And then..."
Listening to Ugetsu's demands one after another, Uchiha Madara felt a trace of regret in his heart.
"It's OK in the end..."
Yu Yue's voice suddenly became urgent.
"Because Mr. Hashirama is faster than expected, I hope you can finish it quickly so that we won't delay our progress in finding you... Ah, I was asked to pass it to you later. Mr. Hashirama called me, so I'll go first.
have a look."
"Wait! You bastard..."
Seeing that Yu Yue's voice was about to disappear, Uchiha Madara hurriedly spoke, but he was still a step too late.
The evil dragon, having ended its role as a communication tool, returned to its original state. Apart from occasionally spitting fire and making a few noises, it ignored anything Uchiha Madara said.
Uchiha Madara wants to kill someone.
Uchiha Madara was filled with murderous intent, but Senju Hashirama was like a rat that fell into a rice jar.
I was so happy that I felt like bursting into bubbles.
Although it is just a demo, Yu Yue still designed some levels to increase the fun.
Including but not limited to the various well-known "village chief's tasks", "elderly people's entrustment", and "fancy fights with small animals".
There are many jobs like 'catch XX' or 'help XX do XX'.
It's not that I have to let people experience the original "Dragon Quest", but I mainly want to use this to buy some time for Mr. Madara to prepare.
There is no other way. It’s the first time I’m making this thing and the time is too tight. I can only do it while testing it.
Otherwise, if we just rush into the cave to fight the dragon, that would be no fun, right?
Who would have thought that those tasks that seemed like a waste of time to Ugetsu could be completed so quickly by Hashirama Senju.
"God, isn't he tired?"
Looking at Hashirama Senju who ran again and again tirelessly holding the 'chicken', Ugetsu was stunned.
That’s right, in this mission I am the legendary ‘chicken catching’.
You have been commissioned by the villagers to help repair the broken chicken coop and catch the escaped chickens. Only in this way can you get the news of the "Whereabouts of the Evil Dragon".
However, as a magical world, the chickens in this world are certainly not ordinary chickens that can only cluck and run.
It's a 'magic chicken' that can fly up trees and breathe fire.
Of course the most outrageous thing is that Yu Yue 'sets' that you can only carry one of these chickens at a time, which means that you have to run as many times as you want to catch chickens.
You cannot catch enough at once and bring them in together.
According to Ugetsu's original idea, this kind of mission with the setting of one at a time and the target running all over the mountain and climbing trees, plus it was also the first time for Hashirama Senju to come into contact with it, it would take at least half a day.
Who would have thought that Hashirama Senju would be so energetic.
"His power has obviously been restricted."
That's right
, in this game, all the ninja's powers are sealed.
Any power other than the body can only be obtained through Yu Yue's arrangement.
Her original intention was to delay time while allowing Hashirama Senju to become familiar with his own strength.
For example, using the 'entanglement technique' to catch those running chickens.
Who would have thought that the other party was even more agile than a monkey, and caught the chicken by jumping up and down. Even if the chicken flew to the top of a tree several meters high, Senju Hashirama could still catch the chicken with his incredible skills.
Not only that, the flames spewed out by the angry chickens could not hurt him at all.
Almost at the moment the chicken spits fire, he can predict and find a suitable obstacle to avoid or just dodge.
...Should we give these chickens some skills like 'fire tracking' next time?
But then again, it's incredible that the chickens in the Novice Village can master such advanced ninjutsu.
"After all, Master Hashirama is revered as the 'God of Ninja'."
Uchiha Shisui was not surprised.
Although the power of chakra is limited, the ninja's use of physical strength is also engraved into their bones through daily training.
Even though the ninjutsu was sealed, the body's reaction and flexibility were still there.
These things that are engraved in our bones will not become unusable as the environment changes.
"Ms. Yu Yue, do you have any other plans?"
As he spoke, he pointed at Hashirama Senju, who was happily coming out of the repaired chicken coop to catch the next chicken.
"It looks like Hashirama-sama will be finishing the job soon."
Just as he said, Hashirama Senju not only repaired the chicken coop (and beautified it a bit), but also caught most of the chickens.
"…It's okay. If it doesn't work here, there's always another place!"
Speaking of classic RPGs, of course we have to mention the letter delivery game.
Senju Hashirama was completely unaware of Ugetsu's predicament.
He himself was having a lot of fun.
A world never heard of or seen before.
There are also some weird but interesting little things.
Plus, it's all work 'to help someone', 'to make things better'.
Isn’t that wonderful?
It's different from young people who pursue novelty and excitement.
I have experienced too much excitement and fighting in my life.
Hashirama Senju doesn't need to go through the world of illusion again - he's not bragging, there aren't many battles of the same magnitude as he and Madara had.
He prefers to see a world that is thriving and where everyone can laugh - even if they are troubled, they are just 'trivial' things that have nothing to do with death and war.
So he happily helped people repair roofs, carried elderly people with disabilities to their children's homes in his spare time, and caught runaway chickens for worried-looking men.
Even though they are trivial things, they can help others.
It was wonderful to see the smiles on these people's faces.
As for saving Uchiha Madara...
Of course he didn't forget this.
But he also believed that with his best friend's strength, even if his strength was restricted, he would definitely not be harmed.
This is the confidence and mutual respect that belongs to top ninjas.
Hashirama Senju is running around helping out not just because he is idle, he is also using this work to test how dangerous this world is.
If that 'evil dragon' had the same power as the head of the Otsutsuki branch clan, he would definitely not leave Uchiha Madara, whose ninjutsu and Sharingan were sealed, alone.
But after testing for some time, he was sure that this was a fairly safe world.
Although the chickens here can spit fire and the wild boars can lunge...they are just simple skills.
Although Miss Yu Yue is very capable at work, she is still just an ordinary person when it comes to arranging battles.
Of course, we can't delay too long - after all, if we go too late, there's a chance that Ban will kill the monster called 'Evil Dragon' and escape.
That means you won't be able to complete the 'main mission'.
So although Hashirama Senju enjoys this happiness, he will not really indulge in it.
He simply used his strong physique efficiently and completed every task from start to finish.
- Whether it is a 'mission' or not.
Seeing that Hashirama Senju was so busy without delaying the main storyline, Ugetsu felt both appreciative and worried.
But after all, she is not the owner of this illusion world, and she cannot arrange everything by just thinking about it.
I can only keep sending messages to urge Uchiha Madara to complete the progress as soon as possible.
She didn't want to force Mr. Madara like this.
But who would have thought that Mr. Hashirama would be so successful?
Uchiha Madara who was captured by the 'evil dragon': "...
”
"Why should I..."
Even he couldn't help but complain.
There is no such thing as a captured "hostage" being asked to work for others.
Moreover, the people he helped, one came to "save" him, and the other was even worse, being the culprit who caused him to be captured.
But Uchiha Madara has always been the kind of person who will do what he promised.
…Just this once, anyway.
Uchiha Madara concentrated on his preparations.
However, he had just started building when he heard a loud noise.
Then all kinds of precious treasures shining with golden light came crashing down on him.
Uchiha Madaramu wiped the gold and silver jewels that covered his body with a sullen face, and glared at the huge and stupid 'evil dragon' next to him who was occasionally using his tail to dig up the mountain of jewels.
This thing is some kind of 'final villain' designed by Ugetsu.
It is also one of the few things in this illusion world that is not controlled by Uchiha Madara.
He originally thought that Yu Yue hoped that this thing would embarrass them, and since he had no interest in fighting with something he controlled, he completely handed over the control.
I didn't expect that I would be arrested as soon as I came up.
...I never expected that this unfortunate thing could do such a stupid thing.
A monster of gigantic size loves human wealth...can it recognize the value of these things?
I really don’t know what that young man is thinking.
And that Uchiha.
Thinking of Uchiha Shisui who had always been by Ugetsu's side, Uchiha Madara's brows furrowed even more tightly.
That kid...
Closing his eyes, Uchiha Madara thought back to the moment when he faced Black Zetsu not long ago.
With such power, it remains silent until the last moment when it bursts out.
He is strong and patient enough, and has the most accurate judgment on fighter planes.
He was clearly a strong man capable of leading the Uchiha forward, but he just watched that junior mess around.
...This is really nonsense.
Even though he had been away from the normal ninja world for decades, he knew how rare such strength and judgment were for ninjas.
There are countless ninjas who can fight.
But above that, those who can understand the battlefield and know how to fight in the best way are rare.
But he just...
"Mr. Madara? Mr. Madara, can you hear me?"
"Mr. Hashirama is almost done delivering the letter! Please quickly place the prepared props at the designated location! I've sent you the coordinates!"
Uchiha Madara: "..."
"I'm doing it, no need for you to tell me."
Let's finish the work at hand first.
After practicing illusions for a lifetime, Uchiha Madara realized for the first time that illusions could be played in this way.
...It was also the first time that I discovered that illusion could be such a troublesome and complicated thing.
But no matter how annoying it is, you still have to do it.
Uchiha Madara frowned as he looked at the demand form that Ugetsu handed him.
Start pinching the props according to her request.
——On the other hand, the errand task that Yu Yue joined was almost coming to an end.
This task was added temporarily to allow Uchiha Madara to ensure that he had conquered the crater and glacier, so he had to travel to several places.
I received the letter from the starting point, and then found the destination, but found that the person was not there. Then I learned from villager A that he had gone out to the city and had not returned for a day. Finally, I went to the city to look for him, and found that he was locked up by evil forces.
What followed was another standard RPG process of defeating evil forces and rescuing people.
Finally, I succeeded in delivering the letter and got the item 'Universal Fishing Rod'.
"So what is this for?"
"It's a fishing tackle. In theory, it can catch anything - as long as you have enough strength."
"The fish you catch can be cooked. If you cook it according to the recipe, you can also add different statuses - if successful, it will be a bonus, and if unsuccessful, it will be a debuff."
"oh oh?"
Senju Hashirama was full of interest in this unprecedented setting.
However, Yu Yue had to strike him down:
“This is just a concept for now and has not been implemented yet.”
To be precise, I haven't told Mr. Madara yet.
"It's just a test after all."
"Does that mean it will be implemented in the future?"
Although it is a bit regrettable that I can't experience 'gains and debuffs' now.
But when he heard that it could be implemented in the future, he was fine with it again.
Then he happily took this 'always-hitting fishing rod' to test it.
Even though there is no buff, the fishing rod that will definitely hit is also fun.
Senju Hashirama not only fishes
, and also fish for various birds in the forest that can breathe fire and wolves that can emit electric shocks.
No matter what he came across, he would just fish for it.
Release it after catching it - real experience version.
While fishing, he felt that Miss Yu Yue really had good intentions.
On the one hand, a world that is extremely real and novel is set up to which everyone will respond.
On the other hand, in order to prevent people from blurring the conflict between reality and illusion by indulging in it, so many gadgets full of fantastic ideas that would not exist in the real world are set up.
While being interesting, it also makes people clearly aware that this is a fake world.
In this way, people will no longer think that Uchiha is evil as they did in the past, and Uchiha's illusions can only bring pain and harm.
Of course, experiencing it yourself is faster than denying and explaining over and over again.
Thinking of this, Hashirama Senju looked at Ugetsu with even gentler and kinder .
When I see her absent-minded expression again, I can only admire her.
How can this be considered as daydreaming?
She must be working harder to perfect this plan!
I heard that she was the first to propose this test - she must have been thinking about it for a long time for the sake of the Uchiha clan.
As a "close friend of the Uchiha clan", Senju Hashirama felt that he could understand her!
No, it should be said that in this world, they are the only two people who can understand each other like this.
Thinking of this, he looked at Yu Yue with a little more eagerness.
This look was as real as reality, and even Yu Yue, an ordinary person, could feel it.
"……What's wrong?"
Ugetsu asked cautiously.
——I always feel that there is something wrong with this look?
There's an illusion that I'm getting scalded.
"Ms. Yu Yue, you are truly amazing."
"No."
Although Yu Yue didn't know why he suddenly expressed such emotion, she still responded with a businesslike smile.
"No, no, no, it's really amazing."
Senju Hashirama said seriously.
"You can actually think of this method to change people's prejudice against Uchiha and Sharingan... Miss Ugetsuki is really a genius!"
Uchiha can't do without you!
Yu Yue: “…”
I didn't expect so much. Besides, because most Uchiha people have good looks, and the Uchiha clan is already a well-known "Internet celebrity check-in spot", she seems to have not heard anyone talk about prejudice against Uchiha for many years.
But it doesn’t matter. People have already said this, how can I not continue?
"No, I just provided a little idea. Whether it can be successful or not depends on Mr. Madara."
"After all, this is indeed a troublesome matter that requires a lot of effort to arrange..."
"Don't worry! I'm sure everything will be fine if Madara says so!"
Senju Hashirama patted his chest on the spot.
"Just make your arrangements. I'll take care of Madara's side!"
I wish everyone could adventure together in this world regardless of their origin or faction.
Why worry about peace not coming!
It can not only clear the bad reputation of Uchiha, but also bring peace...
Such a good thing! How could Madara refuse it!
It must last for a long time...at least a hundred years!!
